Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in Gaza in the last 24 hours, raising the death toll from Israel’s war on the enclave since October 2023 to 72,612, the Health Ministry said on Monday.
The ministry did not give details about the new fatalities, but a medical source told Anadolu that a 44-year-old man was killed by Israeli fire in the Atatra area west of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza early on Monday.
Local sources said the Atatra area lies outside the zones of Israeli military deployment and control under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
No details were yet available about the second fatality.
The ministry said nine people were also injured by Israeli fire over the past day, bringing the total injuries since October 2023 to 172,457 people.
